Henri Ludovic Marius Pinta (15 June 1856, in Marseille – 18 October 1944, in Paris) was a French painter who specialized in religious works.

His choice of subject matter was strange, and some said heretical: "Christ Weeping Over the Futility of His Sacrifice", in which Jesus was portrayed without divine qualities.

[1] Notable works from this later period include "Naissance du Jour" (Birth of Day, 1903), which is still widely reproduced, and an unconventional "Sacred Heart", inspired by his sadness over the loss of two sons in the First World War.

In 1915, he created a mural depicting the death of Saint Joseph for the church of Saint-François Xavier des Missions étrangères.

[2] Together with the stained glass maker, Louis-Charles-Marie Champigneulle [fr], he produced designs for windows at the church of Saint Vaast in Béthune and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Marseille.
